Springs science investigation
Work Plans and Reports
Work plans have been developed for the general approach and organization of the springs science investigation and for each of the work groups. The detail and approach for the individual research elements within each work plan will serve as the guiding document for the work. Adaptations may be incorporated based upon findings as they occur.
